Canned Hunting
Introduction

Canned Hunting is so vile and dispicable, that I had to put it on a totally seperate page than regular trophy hunting (which is already horrible). Canned hunting is even repudiated by various thrill of the chase hunting societies as being unsportsmanlike. These hunters pay to shoot at animals in enclosed areas, completely preventing a chance of escape. These animals are also often semi-tame, and there have been situations when a deer would come and lick the hunter's hand before he shot it. A hunter can shoot almost any type of creature, including tigers, bears, lions and zebras.
A main supplier of canned hunts are zoos, since they breed their animals for babies to attract crowds and then sell their older animals at auctions and cannot keep track of where they go. Inevitably, a lot of them end up in hunting ranches, where they wait, doomed to a slow, humiliating, and painful death.
Canned-hunting ranches are also very dangerous to the natural wildlife in that they foster disease. Chronic wasting disease has been shown to be prevalent in these ranches, occurring in places where many animals share the same feeder and same water, and where an infected deer could have contact with a wild deer, having a potentially devastating effect on the wild population, spreading it to other species.
